“ ... exceptionally gifted American pianist and singer ... bringing subtlety and nuance to her interpretations of a song selection that avoids overdone material"--Bruce Crowther, Jazz Journal International

“But above all, there is the piano playing and deep, smoky vocals of Patti Wicks ... who is capable of casting a spell without resorting to facile tricks"--Lorenzo Vigano, CORRIERE DELLA SERA Magazine

“Certain voices, when put into motion, immediately take command and let the listener know who is in charge ... Her piano is tasteful and tuneful, not given to wild flights but always making her point clear"--C. Michael Bailey, AllAboutJazz
